Before & After Photos

Most older homes that have sump pumps installed in the basement need updated equipment. The old pumps are either broken or aren't strong enough. Many times the hole itself isn't large enough and actually contributes to the sump pump getting over used. DryZone uses a much larger sump pit than the average home currently has. The container is sealed so the smells and water vapor won't escape. Since the container is bigger, the pump takes longer to turn on and pumps out more water in one cycle. Short cycling, when the pump turns on and off in a small amount of time, will destroy a sump pump.

This home in northern Delaware would leak every time it rained. The homeowner would also notice that the water would seep in a couple days after the rain. DryZone inspector, Johnny Scarborough, explained that it was because the hollow concrete blocks fill up with water. Over time, the blocks drain out and the basement will be wet several days after a storm. DryZone crews make sure to drill the blocks at the base of the wall to relieve the pressure and allow the water to flow into our WaterGuard system. The "after" picture is more of an "almost finished" picture. You can see the nice layer of stone and solid construction of the WaterGuard pipe. The white wall liner is to prevent the tiny leaks from spraying out over the drain.

This father and son needed support and encapsulation underneath their home in New Castle, DE. We installed 2 supplemental beams, 14 SmartJacks, and a full CleanSpace encapsulation to make sure this home is standing strong for a lifetime!

Finishing the basement was a primary goal for this homeowner. However, the basement windows that were installed when the home was built, were not the best. Not only did these homes not look great, but they were also always stuck and hard to open. DryZone removed the old sticking basement windows and replaced them with easy sliding egress windows.

In this crawlspace the first step to cleaning it up was the instillation of a smarts ump to pump water out of the ground to ensure that it doesn't flood the crawlspace. The next step is he laying down of cleanspace which is designed to prevent moisture leakage from the soil and through the walls of the crawlspace. This is to keep humidity levels low to prevent the propagation of mold within the crawlspace.
